I agree that Phaneuf is a good choice, I just wonder if the Leaf players chose him or management. Phaneuf came on board late last year. I wonder if his teamates saw him as the obvious choice as leader.
I agree that Gionta would be a good choice too. However, the Habs brass might want a french speaking Captain. I believe their last speaking french captain was Damphouse (circa 1995?). I think the french media is tired of speaking to Lapierre... lol. If Gomez took his french classes more seriously, as he promised, I think he would have been chosen by the brass.
I hope the Habs sign Moore in the off season.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I'd love to get another top 5 pick in the 2011 draft.

Kessel needs to score 160 goals this year... lol

This could end up being the worst trade in recent memory. Burkie could be the new Milbury. I don't care what he's done yesterday. I care what he's doing now and me no likey.

As much as I can't stand either guy, putting Burke in the same sentence with Milbury is just cruel.

A bit of a mock up for the new Leafs Jersey, way better in my opinion. These will be unveiled next week with the anouncement of Phaneuf being named Captain of the team.
Those are sharp but I kind of have to side with Kit.

I have to agree. Milbury is the definitive schmo when it comes to GMs. At least Burkey generally has a plan, though 2 consecutive early first rounders to Boston for Kessel had everyone scratching their heads as Burkey wasn't really in competition with any other GM for him. He could have held out for less as Boston was trying to get rid of Kessel. I bet Burkey could have gotten Kessel with one first rounder. For whatever reason, Burkey thought the Leafs were going to do much better, which basically shows how well he knows his team on the ice. Guys like Komi and Beaucheman looked way better because of their defensive pairings on their former teams.

Burke is doing a hell of a lot better then Furguson Jr did. Leafs will gel and come around soon i think. At the end of last year they really came together as a team.
Not appreciating the "Leafs suck" comment, i mean look at the Habs, they wiped out the best team in the NHL (Caps) and most people didn't see it coming.
What are you talking about?, side? whaa?.
His Crapitals jersey couldn't hold a candle to the Leafs jersey or Habs or Philly,Chicago etc.

That Kessels deal was pure Milbury quality GMing all over it. Don't even tell me it wasn't.

For every good move Chiarelli has made he makes a few head scratchers. The moves for Rask and to get the Philsbury Doughboy out of town look great so far.
However if the B's don't turn the corner his legacy could be the horrendous Thomas deal. Perhaps the deals he gives to mid-level talent also could be what he's remembered for. Andrew Ference is an albatross with the contract he was given for instance.

Some ******* tonight kept doggin me and I shrugged it off the first five minutes but then I tell him to shut the ^^^^ up and he throws a fist into my left shoulder with my back turned away from him.

Your team made a hell of a run. Losing to a team stacked like the Hawks isn't really something to be ashamed of. To hell with these people that hop aboard the wagon when the playoffs start and get right back off when the team loses.
I was rocking my Winter Classic Bergeron jersey yesterday and was getting copious amounts of ____ from people. Seriously just ____ them. I look forward to the day when I can skip work for a Stanley Cup parade.

Hell yeah man!
Most people wouldn't even know what was going on in hockey if it wasn't for 30 second clips on ESPN.

That Rask deal was definitely bad and Ed Belfour was there far too short and too old to be missed.

02-03 and 03-04 were awesome seasons for Belfour with the Leafs, he was runner up for the Vez.
On July 2, 2002, Belfour signed as a free agent with the Toronto Maple Leafs after then Leafs goaltender, Curtis Joseph, chose to sign with the Detroit Red Wings. Belfour rebounded after a dismal season with the Stars, winning a franchise-record 37 games and helping his new team finish second in the Northeast Division. His 2.26 GAA ranked 11th in the league. During the season, he was invited to play in the mid-season All-Star Game in Florida, but a back injury forced him to miss the event. On April 1, he earned his 400th career win in a match against the Devils. In the playoffs, Belfour posted a 2.71 GAA and a .915 Save% in seven games in an opening-round loss to the Flyers. On April 16 in Game Four at the Air Canada Centre, Ed made 72 saves before losing 3-2 on an overtime goal by Mark Recchi. Belfour finished as runner-up for the Vezina Trophy, won that year by the Devils' Martin Brodeur.
In 2003–04, he posted a 34-19-6 record in 59 games as the Maple Leafs finished fourth overall in the conference standings. He recorded a 2.13 GAA and a .918 save percentage along with ten shutouts. On April 3 in the final game of the season, Belfour posted a 6-0 shutout over the Senators to secure home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. That shutout gave him 10 on the season, setting a new personal best. In the playoffs, Belfour posted three shutouts in the opening round against the Senators, setting a record for shutout streaks in a series. However in the second round, former teammate Jeremy Roenick eliminated the Leafs by putting a game 6 overtime goal past Belfour.
Good enough to be remembered in my opinion.

The fact that you own a Pronger jersey brings 1 point down in the cool books. The guy is a complete _______ and someone who is a fan of that... *shudders* Sorry, say what you will about Crosby but atleast he doesn't send guys to the emergency room with concussions. I do not like that dinkasaurus one bit... so don't get mad when someone gets a bit chippy at you for sporting a Pronger jersey. Granted, the hitting you part was not cool. Even wearing that prick's jersey doesn't allow for someone to hit you.
I do like you ringer, but Pronger? C'mon! Why not Richards or Carter?
